2014 5.0 - unusually long starts
Question to see if anyone can point me in the right direction or if you've had this before.
2014 5.0 STX - 74,000 miles
Yesterday and today it took longer than normal to start. I say longer than normal because I drive my truck roughly 1,000 miles per week and start it several times per day. When I turn the key, it continues to roll over for a few seconds before it fires, rather than firing right away. The first time it did it was yesterday, today it took even longer to start than yesterday.
I'm getting ready to leave for a trip to KY tomorrow and would rather not get stranded somewhere.
Thanks.

I recommend taking it to the certified techs at your dealership. Shoot me a PM with your name, ph #, VIN, and dealership information; I'll loop in your regional customer service manager to help out.
